A Florida Highway Patrol Trooper is under arrest on 22 counts of official misconduct, which is a third-degree felony. According to a Miami Herald story trooper Paul C. Lawrence wrote over 200 traffic citations that have now been dismissed because they seemed to have been falsified. The traffic tickets were unsigned and may have been made up and based on previous traffic tickets the trooper had issued.

People in Miami began to complain of phantom tickets beginning to show up just after Thanksgiving. Two tickets were written to a University of Miami Law Student for driving without a license and a seat belt violation. E. Derron Bowen couldn
